On the first row should be a -number saying how many clickfields there are and on the following rows are -descripitons of individual clickfields in this order (x1, x2, y1, y2, next), -for example: - 2 - - 123 - 134 - 49 - 63 - 0 - - 135 - 146 - 49 - 63 - 0 - -This would be the contents of a file describing 2 clickfields. - ---section_info similar to the clickfield_info. Contains info about sections. On the -first row should be a number saying how many sections there are and on the following -rows are descripitons of individual sections in this order -(x1, x2, y1, y2, next, addressLow, addressHigh), for example: - 2 - - 0 - 319 - 0 - 137 - 0 - 0 - 0 - - 123 - 134 - 49 - 62 - 0 - 44160 - 0 - -This would be the contents of a file describing 2 sections - ---palette Contains info about palette. On the first row should be a number saying -how many colors there are and on the following rows are the individual RGB values of -colors (don't forget, that the engine shifts each color by 2 places to the left -(brightening the image), so the palette basicaly has to be shifted by 2 to the right -to get the right colors). For example: -3 -50 50 50 -0 0 0 -28 25 20 - -This would be the contents of a file containing palette with 3 colors. - ---image#.bmp For each section, there has to be image#.bmp, replace the '#' by the -number of section this image belongs to. The image has to use indexes to the palette -for storing the color of each pixel (Image -> Mode -> Indexed... in gimp). - - -Running the tool -The tool needs 3 comand line arguments when running it: --- Prefix of the file to be created (use "ms2_data" to create "ms2_data.###") --- Number of the file to be created and also the number of a folder to read all the -files from (use "15" to create prefix.015) --- Number of bytes to skip in each .bmp file. At the begining of each .bmp file is -a header with information about the file and after that is stored the palette. This -tool doesn't need these, so this number says how many bytes to skip to get to the pixel -data. For example: use 1146 to generate ms2_data.015 from the files included. - -Be aware, this tool does only basic checks of comandline arguments and no checks of -the input files (only their presence). - |
